    miroslav, not sure who you replied to but I thought you were a woman:o thought most of us were in here.

    Don't mind sensetive and gentle in men either as long as it's the manly type accompanied with a nice big bear hug;)

    No no, Miroslav is a male name, you aren't the first around here to think I am female....I may have to change my signature slightly :p

    Glad you enjoyed your trip the other day PLB, I felt quite homesick reading about it. I used to go to Ilkley on business and always found time for a cuppa at Betty's and a quick look in the charity shops, I got some real bargains there. Sorry you're not feeling well, get well soon. xx

    Hi PinkLipstickBabe

    It sounds like you might be suffering a little bit from dehydration. Perhaps you need to drink a bit more during your workout if you can manage it, and also drink lots of water during the day anyway. It's wonderful that you've got an appetite back - you need to eat to feed those muscules.

    It's great too that you have managed a month as a single lady of the world. You've come so far already you may have surprised yourself to discover that you're one of life's survivors.

    Hi,

    I am going through the same thing at the moment. Money is very tight too, which does not help. Things do get easier, I am three months down the line, coping, going to work seeing a few friends. Not really talking about it and feel a need to talk to him and we do, which does not help. (He had an affair and we were due to get married in a few months) It does just take time, keep busy and don't let yourself get lonely. Stay positive too.

    PLB.... it isnt the combination of chocolate, yogurt and tea that made you feel ill... its only because your not use to it... you see its just a case of practice... then you can eat lots of chocolate, yogurt and tea... and you wont feel ill..

    honest... trust me.... it works...

    ;-)

    hi again,

    i am new to all this message board stuff. thank you for the welcome!!!
    Keep your chin up sweetie, I promise it gets easier. Pop on your favourite dvd/video that makes your laugh, laughing is good and you can do this! Try and enjoy doing things by yourself and apprceiate yourself more and give yourself a pat on the back for acheivments you have made. It all helps!
    I am going through an angry stage at the minute, not plesant for those around me as they are receiving the brunt of it! It's so true that people say that this is a grieving process. I am just getting impatiant on how slowly time goes when you feel sad.

    Try and get a good nights sleep and plan todo something special just for you tomorrow.

    Sweet Dreams

    Hi PLB

    I went thru this sort of grief many years ago when I split up with someone I adored.

    Many years later I discovered that we hadn't really split up cos of the pressure of his upcoming divorce and ther distance between us (about 250 miles), we had split up cos unknown to me I was his mistress-he was still married and had had a baby son whilst dating me!

    Anyway what I'm trying to say that in my case I wasn't grieving for the relationship I had I was grieving for the relationship I thought I had. Now this might not apply in your case but things will get better eventually.

    I found keeping myself occupied helped.

    Anyway I went on to meet my husband and we now have a son and a daughter.

    Best wishes
